Yes, I too am going to write my own operting system.  I am a senior in EE at the univ. of hawaii, and am doing this a my final project for graduation.  I have approximately one year to finish, so that is not a whole lot of time.  

 I mean I am still trying to decide how am going to approach this.  So for GRUB is lookin real good right now.  Its seems to me that writing your own boot loader is like reinventing the wheel.

I am going to try and keep things as simple as possible.  x86 arch seems like the way to go, but then again I don't really know....  

I don't have any real questions yet, but for anyone who has ever done this before, what should my expectations be?

Thanks for any input in advance.  :)

Expectations? Frustation is the a big one that you will end up having. And of course staying up till midnight trying to get a part of your OS to work(my solution? have an alarm clock next to the moniter set for 10 o'clock so that you get to bed at night).
